This guide is a compilation of blog posts I wrote the year after I finished graduate school (2010).

There are definite life changes you can implement, and all of which will make your life so much easier.

I could not have finished my education as a Christian Nontraditional Student without every single tip I share in this guide.

This 90-page guide will highlight actions and mindsets needed to fit college into your already busy life.

Success IS within your reach!

This 14-page guide begins with a brief overview of my own challenges as I returned to college as a Christian Nontraditional Student with at least 2 kids still at home (full-time as unschoolers) and a memory impairment.

I also give a quick overview of how I handled home time management when it came to the kids, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and studying. Oh, and still found time for myself.

The “Tips for Helping Your Family Cope” included in this guide helped us not only survive, but thrive.

And your family can too!

Many Christian Nontraditional Students need change NOW, but get bogged down in knowing where to begin and then actually making it happen.

This 15-page guide outlines what I see as the path to real and lasting change which (BONUS!) will last longer than your time in college.

If you follow these steps, you’ll create a more relaxed, more enjoyable, and less stressful life for your entire family.

Real and lasting change is not out of your reach!

Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue….” Powerful, huh?

James 4:2 tells us we have not because we ask not.

The Scriptures help me know what God says I can have and, therefore, what I’m to ask for.

This guide is 11-pages of Scripture-based personal confessions in categories such as “Resisting Temptation” and “Walking in my Calling,” to name just two.

Part of our success is in our mouth!

Music powerfully touches my soul (mind, will, and emotions) and has helped me through some pretty rough times.

It’s even mentioned in the Bible an astounding number of times.

This 8-page guide lists several of my musical playlists focused on particular struggles such as “Crying Out” and “Consecration.”

Also included are more uplifting playlists such as “Praise and Worship” and “Encouraging.”

Let music soothe your soul!

When we think of spiritual growth, we usually think of reading our Bibles and praying.

Those are great–essential, in fact–but there are additional things we can do to keep our minds focused on the right Person all day long.

Included in this 11-page guide are five somewhat unconventional methods of spiritual growth I use nearly every single day.

I would bet at least a couple would be new ideas you’d love to try.

Shake up your prayer life!
